Soul Made: Schedoni Custom Leather Luggage
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- Mauro Schedoni represents the third generation of his family to work with leather, but more important than the subject matter is the philosophy. His father instilled him with a respect for high quality work, leading by example, always striving and honing. While he was mainly involved with shoes, Mauro would later forge a connection between Schedoni and another of Italy’s low-volume manufacturers.
In the 1970s, Mauro’s brother in law approached him with a request for some custom luggage. Like many a Ferrari driver, he found that typical luggage sets didn’t fit properly in the car’s small storage compartment. Mauro, flushed with work orders, said he didn’t have the capacity to make a custom set, but for Christmas that year, he arrived bearing a set of leather suitcases designed to fit perfectly in the trunk of a 308 GTB.
Ferrari’s commercial director happened to join them for Christmas lunch, and was impressed with the Schedoni craftsmanship and fit. Mauro was invited to Maranello just two weeks later on January 8th, 1977. Ever since then, Schedoni has been designing luggage specific to each model released by Ferrari.
In addition to the luggage for production cars, Mauro also supplied the leather that Ferrari used on the seats of its F1 cars for many years, up until the early Michael Schumacher years when synthetics finally took over. Mauro jokes that these were some of the fastest pigs in the world, “because no other pig has gone as fast as 350km/h.”
Besides the specific work, in a more general sense, Mauro’s chief source of pride comes from simply carrying on his father’s legacy, his commitment to producing the best. He’s also proud to be teaching the next generation that will eventually take on that responsibility.

I visited the shop in 2003 , it was such a pleasure to see the high end workmanship in person. Still have my leather card holder given by Mr. Schedoni.
Now THAT is something beautiful.
I remember a story about Michael Schumacher going for a seat fitting (or similar) at the Schedoni factory and then being 'lost' by Ferrari with nobody knowing where he was. If I remember rightly he was found up in an attic sampling aged balsamic vinegar with Sig. Schedoni senior. It doesn't get more Modenese than that.
So beautiful curated video!! There is real magic in hand made, artisanal and crafted car related stuff. Just came back from Mille Miglia. Next time I need to stop in Modena to smell those leathers! (My grandfather was a proud shoemaker…)
un uomo straordinario .... Mi manca tanto ! Ciao caro Mauro...
Artigianalità italiana!! E grande competenza! Mestieri e professionalità da tramandare e mantenere! Complimenti!!👍
Love their work. Was lucky enough to share the making of the RR luggage with them.
Superb craftmanship! 🇮🇹
Beautiful colors in the saddle bags and love the black Ferrari stamped bags.
Arte italiana !!!!!
brilliant such skill and dedication
2:51 "..prima di sedersi davanti ad un piatto di tortellini.." a truly modenese statement
The sound goes out at the 5:00 min mark. Otherwise amazing and wonderful video.
God I love this italian videos, mostly because I don't need subtitles :D
Bellisimo!
SS 😜
Auguri ! Rispetti !
Everyone : 'Classic car experts from Italy'
Me: 'Random dude from Korea'
It's so hilarious 🤣...
I've owned many sets. Several had inferior lining that started breaking down early. The worst was for my 550 PF Barchetta. Another problem was the pulls would come off on my F 50 bags. But still, beautiful craftsmanship!
And the acknowledgement of the workers is unknown in American workplaces.
Rest in peace to all the cows out there that got their lives taken so we can look good and sit in comfort... Sounds messed up right?
Oh shut up.
Took you so long to upload this video, Mauro is dead. Check the Instagram.
Beautiful! Work of Art!!!
Trabajo excepcional. Nada como artículos echos a mano
R.I.P.
He passed away?
@@pavunistao Yes in January. Now his son Simone is in charge.
@@rickdsita odd they wouldn’t have included a small caption line in an intro, considering the time in post-production since then…
Perfecto trabajo, hermoso, solo lo mejor eso es el buen gusto.
🇮🇹
